part of the history OF Charleston.

Three policemen in Manning would
initiate against The judgment of eve
~ citizen Of the towu. Then, how
can white talarshal be employed
without first discharging member OF
the present force? We think with the
signers Of that petition, which, by the
way, contains the name of this writer,
that responsible, intelligent, indus
trious white man should be appoint
ed policeman. This is not intend
ed either, as any reflection on the
present marshals, who to all appear
ances discharge their duty capably
and honestly.
On one day of last week, a bird fell
dead in a field on the plansation of
Dir. ". j. DuRant. This bird was
about the size and shape of a goose,
with a bill four inches in length. It
was most peculiarly marked. It's
' black head was set eff by the two
-yhite bands which encircled lis neck.
TIE back Of this bird vas striped with
white and black feathers which were
covered with snail white spots. It's

Ike those OF duck. Il nad short
